This is a chart of the last 10 trading days
Truly amazing and volatile! As you can see in the chart above, we are in uncertain and volatile times where the moves up and down have been extreme. I repeat for emphasis, take the big up days with a grain of salt, because as we've seen from day to day, who knows what tomorrow will bring! If you've made any stock buys over the past several weeks when the market has been down, today is a great day to take some short term profits and lighten up.
With respect to one of the holdings I have, Yahoo's board of directors is meeting today to review buyout bids from several private investment firms, as well as a couple of Chinese investors. A decision could definately be reached today and hopefully the board will accept one of the proposed bids that will reward the company's shareholders (me included!)...fingers crossed we shall see.
